Good readers and good writers...





I think that Nabokov believes a good reader is someone who reads and re-reads. I agree with that because that is what I have to do before I really get what the writer is saying. Everyone’s interpretation of what they read is different. I believe the characteristics of a good reader are someone who reads often. To be a good reader you have to keep an open mind. I don’t consider myself a good reader because I don’t read that often.  I always have to re-read. I can read a couple of chapters and then I forget what I had read, so I end up re-reading it again. In order to be a good reader you have to identify with the story and the writer.
